So I need to have a cellc flash on my phone for it to work? I have a p10 from Telkom and it does have wifi calling which is enabled. But according to the cellc support it doesn't support wifi calling at all. I assume that's just because cellc hasn't bothered to provision this handset version.

Cell C wifi calling

No need. I have S8, S10 and Huawei P30 from Vodacom with Vodacom firmware on and as soon as I insert the Cellc simcard I get this SMS. If you did not get a similar SMS it's probably not activated on your number. Just call 135 and ask them to manually activate/add the service to your line. Screenshot is from my Vodacom Huawei P30 Lite with Cellc prepaid simcard in.

Interresting! I know if you put it a Vodacom sim in a Cell C issued phone VoWiFi and VoLTE don't work. Do you perhaps know if MTN VoLTE works on a Vodacom issued Samsung phone?
Tried it's not working on Telkom and MTN. A Vodacom simcard with VoLTE enabled is working with VoLTE in my Huawei B618 router from Telkom.
Huawei also does not show VoLTE. You will know it's on VoLTE when making a call and it still shows 4G+ or 4G. If it goes back to 3G or H then no VoLTE. Samsung shows VoLTE.

Using a Cell C issued Huawei P20 Lite.
VoWifi works with a Cell C sim, and VoWiFi and VoLTE works with a Vodacom sim.
Mate 20 pro shows Volte on Mtn BTW.
I just called cell C on 135 to activate wifi calling and they say they can not activate on their side and I need to go to a store. So frustrating dealing with cell c support!
Have you enabled it on your device?
It should activate automatically but they should be able to manually activate it too. You can try the USSD code *147# or via the cellc app.
Download the Cellc app and then once logged in click on the menu the services. Wifi calling will have a slider to slide on or off.
Can you confirm that iMessage works? If you go under setting and messaged is it activated? And are you overseas at the moment?
On Vodacom you can't enable iMessage while on WiFi calling in another country.
Sorry, never used iMessage and I live in Cape Town. It is on though. Does that help?
Was in France and got an Orange SIM whilst there
Going to Japan in March, but not too bothered about phone calls. You get a portable wifi device which lets me use an iPad most of the time
I'm retired, so might use WhatsApp for calls if its necessary when I'm there

I don't know if these threads are archived or I can continue with the query here. Does anyone have wifi calling working on iphone with Cell C? The option to enable is there but I can't use the wifi to call however. It will just say no network coverage if my GSM network is not there even though my wifi would be fully functional,
Yeah using it this side, was on Iphone XS now Iphone 13
When you are on wifi and you swipe down from the top right corner to show the control center, it should say "Cell C Wi-fi" as the network name
If you are only on one wifi network it could be something on that which is blocking it
